### `"checksSpreads"`

If you don't want to check object spreads, you can add this configuration:

```json
{
  "@typescript-eslint/no-misused-promises": [
    "error",
    {
      "checksSpreads": false
    }
  ]
}
```

Examples of code for this rule with `checksSpreads: true`:

#### ❌ Incorrect

```ts
const getData = () => someAsyncOperation({ myArg: 'foo' });

return { foo: 42, ...getData() };

const getData2 = async () => {
  await someAsyncOperation({ myArg: 'foo' });
};

return { foo: 42, ...getData2() };
```

#### ✅ Correct

```ts
const getData = () => someAsyncOperation({ myArg: 'foo' });

return { foo: 42, ...(await getData()) };

const getData2 = async () => {
  await someAsyncOperation({ myArg: 'foo' });
};

return { foo: 42, ...(await getData2()) };
```

## When Not To Use It

If you do not use Promises in your codebase or are not concerned with possible
misuses of them outside of what the TypeScript compiler will check.
